Hi, [I didn't get an answer to this when I tacked it onto the end of another question (which I also didn't get an answer to :-/), so I'm starting a new thread.]
The documentation for 'sacctmgr' says Note: the QOS that can be used at a given account in the hierarchy are inherited by the children of that account. However, if I do the following: $ sacctmgr modify account name=root set qos+=medium,short the result is Modified account associations... C = soroban A = root C = soroban A = anemometry U = alice C = soroban A = anemometry U = bob C = soroban A = barometry U = carol C = soroban A = barometry U = dave C = soroban A = calorimetry U = ethel ... To me this looks as if the QOS are in fact being explicitly added to each association (rather than being just implicitly inherited). In this case, will a new association added within this hierarchy automatically be associated with the QOS available to the other associations?
